    My place wont even buy it - they said its junk and to throw it away since there is so little copper in it. I had a huge bunch I had found and so had to toss it in the garbage.

    I'd say to at least throw it in with Light Iron (Tin). Use it to stuff an appliance.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I found some really heavy 1/2" diameter stuff where they were remodeling a Circuit City store. It had (what I'm assuming is) braided plated copper on the outside and a foam core wrapped in aluminum that had a solid 16 gauge wire in the middle.

    It wasn't that hard to strip so I stripped it. The other that is smaller is still in the "crap wire" gaylord.

    I found a 1,000ft spool of Coax Cable yesterday come to find out that the yards around here won't take it. I'm probably gonna just use it to stuff an appliance on my next load as mick suggested. Thanks for the tip!
